Seminole Harley-Davidson Offers More Ways to Learn-To-Ride from Harley-Davidson

SANFORD, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Turn "Someday I'll ride a motorcycle," into "Today" with new ways to learn to ride from Seminole Harley-Davidson in Sanford, Florida. Inspired by new rider feedback, Seminole Harley-Davidson is offering two new programs that aim to make learning to ride more convenient and personalized.

Experience the Ride

This newly developed program is designed specifically for those who have never ridden a motorcycle but are interested in trying. Under the guidance of a professional coach, participants will ride a Harley-Davidson Street(R) 500 motorcycle across a practice range.

"Experience the Ride" is a low commitment, no pressure way for potential riders to get behind the handlebars and experience riding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle for the first time.

This program can help participants decide if learning to ride is right for them, alleviate potential anxiety before taking rider training, and help realize how motorcycles can unlock their dreams of personal freedom.

For riders that always wanted to learn but couldn't fit a multi-day course into their schedule or prefer to learn in private session, this program is what they have been waiting for. Sessions can be scheduled 1-on-1 or as a private party with up to 4 participants.

Four Pandemic Preparedness Experts Call for 9/11-like Commission

WASHINGTON, D.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Four co-authors of the recently published "Preparing for the Next Pandemic," in a virtual roundtable with consulting firm CollaborateUp and the Scowcroft Institute of International Affairs, issued a call for a 9/11-style commission to investigate and unearth lessons learned from the U.S. government response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Co-author Christine Crudo Blackburn, Ph.D., Deputy Director of the Pandemic & Biosecurity Policy Program at the Scowcroft Institute of International Affairs at Texas A&M University, emphasized the importance of understanding exactly what happened during the response to COVID-19, saying that, "We can't forget after this pandemic is over. We always talk about 1918 and how we are afraid of it recurring, but I think a lot of people don't know that everyone forgot about 1918 after it happened. It was not in history books; it's called 'the forgotten pandemic' by historians...."

"I think we need to make sure that we don't forget about COVID-19 and that we move forward remembering how difficult it was, remembering the challenges and learning from those challenges."

Co-author and Associate Dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences at Texas A&M University Gerald Parker, Ph.D., said that, "Emerging infectious diseases with pandemic potential constitute and ought to be treated like other national security threats."

Dr. Parker elaborated on the role of citizens and leaders at every level in this paradigm shift through grassroots movements and campaigning, stating that, "It's going to be up to us, you and I, as individual citizens to play more of a public advocacy role going forward so our politicians will have to make more political and resource commitments [to pandemic preparedness]. I'm hopeful that we will get beyond this boom-and-bust cycle that we've had over the last 15 years and have pandemic preparedness recognized as a national security issue."

In addition, co-author and CollaborateUp CEO Richard Crespin said, "We need to call a spade a spade. 'America' isn't failing at addressing the pandemic. 13 states are failing, in part due to a lack of national leadership. 37 are doing a pretty good job. That means we now need distinctly different approaches. Leaders in the 37 states that have managed to bring their caseloads under control can take a short breath and then get back to work preparing for the fall and winter. The 13 failing states need to take immediate action to bring their cases under control."

The co-authors explored steps that local leaders can take to manage the recent uptick in infection.

Dr. Blackburn mentioned the need to diversify supply chains and increase their agility beyond our current just-in-time system; "if we don't understand where the gaps are in our supply chains and what could go wrong in the case of a pandemic then we're going to be unprepared. We also need to have more ability to supply our own PPE or supply our own vital pharmaceuticals so that a supply chain disruption isn't going to lead to the death of Americans because we aren't able to get those supplies."

"That's not a protectionist thing, I think that is about asking 'if we have a pandemic and everything fails what do we need to make sure we are able to produce for ourselves?' It's not calling for the elimination of global supply chains, it's saying understand those but also know what things we need to be able to produce ourselves."

Leslie E. Ruyle, Ph.D., Assistant Director of the Scowcroft Institute of International Affairs, noted the value of viewing zoonotic disease like COVID-19 through the lens of the global One Health approach by seeing that, "The health of the community really depends on the health of the environment, and that depends on the health of animals, both wild and those that are domesticated for food ... this is something that all of the human population needs to think about and move forward with."

Dr. Parker also touched on the inherently local nature of many tough questions surrounding re-opening the economy and schools in the coming months, as well as the need to consider unintended consequences caused by lockdowns. He said that, "Community mitigations, interventions, and closures have had many unintended consequences, just in the health and medical lane that go far beyond the consequences of COVID-19. Whether that be mental health, whether that be people not seeking care for other conditions and other deaths that have occurred because they were afraid to go to the hospital for whatever reason."

"We still are in the very early stages of this, I and many other scientists believe. We do have to figure out how we can live with the virus as safely as possible, and I think we can. We're going to have to mitigate the risk. We understand how to live with many other risks in our life, and this is a new risk that we're going to have to figure it out."

A more detailed summary of the virtual roundtable and its 8 key recommendations for leaders and policy makers can be found in CollaborateUp's recap blog, found here: https://collaborateup.com/preparing-for-pandemics-in-the-modern-world-8-lessons-on-managing-covid-19s-coming-waves-future-outbreaks/

Enhanced integration between SimpleNexus and Top of Mind’s SurefireCRM helps mortgage lenders curb abandoned applications, build books of business

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Top of Mind Networks (Top of Mind), a leader in customer relationship management (CRM) and marketing automation software for the mortgage lending industry, has added two-way data sync to its integration with digital mortgage app SimpleNexus. The enhanced integration enables mortgage lenders to automate marketing efforts during the pre-application phase, reducing the number of abandoned applications and capturing lead information for future marketing purposes.

"Mortgage lenders don't always have a good system in place for following up with early-stage loan applicants. That's because marketing automation efforts often rely on contact records that aren't created until the loan application is 100% complete," explained Top of Mind EVP of Strategic Partnerships and Industry Relationships Jonas Kruckeberg. "Top of Mind's integration with SimpleNexus solves that problem by pushing contact details to SurefireCRM as soon as the application is begun, enabling mortgage lenders to deploy marketing communications during the pre-application phase."

For instance, originators can use the integration to set up workflows that automate follow-up with borrowers who begin, but do not complete, a mortgage application. According to Kruckeberg, sometimes that extra communication is all that's needed to push a loan application across the finish line. Even if the borrower never finishes the application, data sharing between SimpleNexus and Top of Mind ensures mortgage loan officers can follow up down the road with rate opportunity alerts and other timely outreach. And with the latest updates to the integration, data flows both ways; with the push of a button, loan officers can fetch new or updated contacts from SurefireCRM and import them into SimpleNexus.

"Staying connected with borrowers-whether they are buying today or a few years down the road-is essential to increasing conversions and giving those customers the best experience around," said SimpleNexus CEO Matt Hansen. "With integration and two-way sync with Top of Mind's SurefireCRM, SimpleNexus helps loan officers win the business when the time is right."

About Top of Mind Networks:

Founded in 2003, Atlanta-based Top of Mind Networks (https://www.topofmind.com) started as a bootstrapped direct-mail marketing company. Today, the company is recognized as the mortgage industry's most-relied-upon provider of marketing automation and creative content solutions. From individuals to enterprise lenders, Top of Mind's SurefireCRM helps thousands of mortgage professionals win new business, earn repeat business and deserve referral business. With intuitive, "set it and forget it" workflows and award-winning content, mortgage professionals are able to effortlessly maintain and deepen their emotional connections with clients.

About SimpleNexus, LLC:

SimpleNexus is the digital mortgage platform that enables lenders to originate and process loans from anywhere. The company's best-in-class, easy-to-use app connects loan officers to their borrowers and real estate agents to easily communicate and exchange data in a single location throughout the entire loan life cycle. Loan officers can manage their loan pipelines, order credit, run pricing, send pre-approvals and sign disclosures - all on the go.

As Campgrounds Begin to Open in Michigan Turner is Providing Post-COVID Peace of Mind

LAKE ORION, Mich. /ScoopCloud/ -- As the State of Michigan begins to allow the opening of its city, county, state and private parks and camping facilities, the biggest question people are asking post-COVID is "how safe are the bathroom facilities at these parks and campgrounds?" While Turner Sanitation can't answer that question for all re-opening parks and campgrounds, it CAN answer that question for those facilities using Turner portable facilities and sanitation services. That answer is a resounding "very safe and very clean!"

Most RV parks, campgrounds and government-sponsored parks have the need for outdoor facilities for RV and boat owners, as well as hikers and anyone using a facility for one day or for weeks. It's the only option available for people who use them, outside of RV holding tanks. But with everyone concerned about the cleanliness of outdoor bathroom facilities, especially now in the midst of our COVID crisis, Turner Sanitation is going the extra mile for its customers.

"We have always cleaned portable facilities more than has been previously required, but we've doubled down on our efforts to make sure we provide the very cleanest options for our clients," said Turner Sanitation owner Darin Gross. "We are extremely familiar with the state laws on bathroom cleanliness, but we will be making more frequent visits to clean and sanitize facilities to put our clients and the public at ease."

Many parks and RV parks are re-opening on a staggered basis because of the work that's needed to bring its facilities up to a post-COVID level. Cleaner bathrooms will also encourage people to come back to the parks and campgrounds, with some potential visitors concerned about the continued spreading of COVID. But for weeks now, Turner Sanitation has been sanitizing park and RV facilities enabling them to open quicker and give visitors peace of mind. "Our services have really put RV Park owners and those running government parks more at ease," said Gross. "If the openings aren't done properly and not meeting state guidelines, they can be heavily fined. That's where we come in."

Turner has been providing portable bathroom facilities in Michigan and has been called upon to clean RV park and campground facilities for more than 40 years.

To inquire about how you can benefit from Turner Sanitation's experience, call 248-693-0998 or go to https://turnersanitationlo.com/.

Engineered Data, LLC Announces the World’s 1st Flocculant for Remediation of PFAS Chemicals from Water

WASHINGTON, D.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Engineered Data, LLC's Advanced Materials Group has begun micro-batch production of a Flocculant that remediates PFAS chemicals (as well as Toxic Heavy Metals + Phosphate [a main ingredient in Storm Water Pollution + Algae Tides]) from polluted water. Jar-testing samples are available to entities interested in applications testing advanced technologies that improve remediation performance.

The 3 conventional technologies for remediating PFAS chemicals from water are Activated Carbon, Ion Exchange Resins + High-Pressure Membranes. Today, a 4th technology is added to that list. Sourced from Military Research and scientifically classified as Nanoporous Iron Oxide ("NIO"), our Flocculant comes in 2 grades: NIO-G (premium) and NIO-C (standard).

Little published research on nanostructured sorbents like NIO exists. Hence researchers like the PFAS Specialists at The Interstate Technology Research Council (https://pfas-1.itrcweb.org/) tend to classify NIO as a Hybrid: part Nanofilter (NIO has nanometer-sized pores, but doesn't utilize membranes), part Flocculant (NIO removes colloids, not by single-function ionic aggregation, but by dual-function aBsorption + aDsorption).

Extraordinarily high surface area (one gram of NIO has enough surface area to cover 3.33 US football fields) and [2] concurrent micro + meso porous particle architecture (verified by independent lab: https://www.synthetic-metals.com/Isotherm2019.pdf) give NIO its accelerated remediation speed + increased capacity. For example, when tested against Phosphate in very high concentrations (+/-25mg/L: typical algae bloom phosphate concentrations hover below 5mg/L), NIO remediates more phosphate in 1 minute than National Science Foundation (NSF) Certified flocculants + sorbents can in 48 hours ... even when NSF flocculants + sorbents are given a 20X dosing handicap. Skeptical? Watch the video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVFCLif0eqE).

Univ. of Arizona + Rice University Researchers confirmed the efficacy of iron oxide (Fe2O3) nanoparticles for remediation of PFAS in 2012 (https://www.synthetic-metals.com/UnivArizona_PFOA-PFOS.pdf). Based on aggregate surface area comparisons, NIO (also Fe2O3) is estimated to be 17.5X more powerful than the nanoparticle mixture used in 2012. NIO is also safer than nanoparticles, as nanoparticles, once introduced into water, either dissolve or become suspended and disburse, becoming logistically impossible to recover. NIO safely sinks to the bottom of settling tanks for easy removal in as little as 30 minutes. NIO is projected to perform best against PFAS chemicals in environments where PFAS concentrations are highest and the pH level of water being treated can be adjusted below +/- 6.0.

Simprints Launches 2nd Generation of their SecuGen Based Fingerprint Scanner, ‘Vero 2.0,’ to Improve Coverage of Vaccines and other Global Health Interventions

SANTA CLARA, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Simprints, a Cambridge, UK-based biometrics company, develops Vero 2.0,​ an evolution of their original Vero scanner, based on SecuGen's fingerprint module, to improve the distribution of healthcare, microfinance, and aid to the poor around the world.

Simprints is a nonprofit technology company that develops and deploys biometric technology uniquely for global health and development contexts. Traditional "Western" biometric technology is less effective in such contexts, where the environment in which people live means that they are more likely to have scarred or worn fingerprints. In contrast, Simprints built their system to be highly accurate with these kinds of challenging biometrics. Simprints' solution integrates with existing mobile tools used by international NGOs and government ministries to verify that their services are reaching the intended beneficiaries. To date, the organization has helped more than 12 partners reach over 387,000 people across South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.

The development of Vero 2.0 was kickstarted by a partnership with Gavi, The Vaccine Alliance, and NEC to boost immunization coverage worldwide. Leveraging technology from Arm and SecuGen, Vero 2.0 has the following features: Near-Field Communications (NFC) to facilitate a seamless, wireless Bluetooth pairing with a mobile device; a redesigned printed circuit board (PCB) powered by the ARM Cortex-M0 32-bit MCU that enables streamlined manufacture; configurable LED colors for increased cultural acceptability and accessibility for the color-blind; fast image-transfer from scanner to mobile and backend storage for robust matching capabilities: and SecuGen's high-resolution fingerprint sensor module capable of achieving up to 1,700 DPI for detailed image capture. Simprints is working with local manufacturer, Prima Electronic Services, to build 1,400 units for immediate use in healthcare projects across sub-Saharan Africa.

An improvement on its predecessor, Vero 2.0 is highly accurate, durable, wireless, water- and dust-proof, and ergonomic for health workers in low-resource areas. This development will bring Simprints and its partners one step closer to accurately verifying the identities of patients from 1 year old and above, in order to ensure that every single person is reached with life-saving medical care.

"Simprints helps us save time and labor. We like working with the scanner because it's easier to identify patients," says a community research assistant in Malawi.

"Simprints makes our workflow flawless. We had challenges before, like supply bottlenecks. We'd end up giving too many shoes, only to realize not too many of these children actually exist. So, we tied our distribution to a fingerprint," says the leader of a local health organization in Kenya.

Jeff Brown, SecuGen's VP of Sales added, "We were delighted to support Simprints to develop a product that met their specifications while keeping the costs down. We are excited to have our fingerprint technology play a part in projects involving low resource settings where the lives of so many can benefit."

"Simprints is an impressive group of people with an equally impressive dedication to doing good in the world," stated Won Lee, SecuGen's CEO. "It is a privilege to work with them to bring such an important product to fruition."

Nick Russel, Chairman of Prima Electronic Services, said, "Manufacturing a product that has such a positive impact on communities is something the team here at Prima are very proud to be involved with."

Zeblok Computational Announces Partnership with Laufer Center and CEWIT – COVID-19 Drug Discovery

STONY BROOK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Zeblok Computational is contributing to the efforts of two groups of researchers at The Laufer Center for Physical and Quantitative Biology, for COVID-19 drug discovery by providing Zeblok's secure, scalable Supercomputing-as-a-Service platform, employing 128 GPUs from the CEWIT SMART GPU Cluster.

The Laufer Center simulations focus on 3 key proteins of the SARS-CoV-2 virus to pinpoint more precisely which drug candidates have the best binding affinity to various protein targets:
1. The RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (which copies the virus inside the cell, thought to be the target of Gilead's Remdesivir, now in clinical trials)
2. The Protease (which chops up the virus proteins into the right pieces)
3. The spike protein (which is how the virus unlocks the door to enter the cell).

The Laufer Center is running their computationally-intense simulations to understand how proteins fold and how proteins bind to proteins - actions, mechanisms and binding affinities - to enable design of drugs for high-affinity binding to proteins. They apply state-of-the-art modeling, using physics-based methods to examine motions, forces and free energies within biological mechanisms. In a previous limited benchmarking program, the Laufer Center concluded that they achieved a 6x improvement in performance on Zeblok's platform compared to NSF's Blue Waters Cray GPU-based system. The structures of most COVID virus proteins are not yet known. Dr. Ken Dill's group is computing many of their structures using MELD x MD, while Dr. Dima Kozakov's group is computing structures of human-virus and virus-virus protein pairs.

"Companies offering in silico drug discovery services, such as computer-aided drug design (CADD), molecular modeling and quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR), have now become an important part of the pharmaceutical industry. Drug developers, especially those focused on the development of large molecules, are likely to continue relying on outsourcing for a significant part of their respective drug discovery and development operations. Zeblok Computational platform levels the playing field for researchers that need accelerated infrastructure for R&D. We uniquely combine computing platforms, orchestration, multi-cloud and in silico software developers to deliver quality services for companies engaged in drug discovery," said Zeblok Computational CEO Mouli Narayanan.

Zeblok Computational is incubated at and supported by CEWIT, using its SMART cluster of 180 NVIDIA RTX 6000 GPUs. "Our dual-use homogenous SMART Cluster is one of the fastest GPU clusters in academia and supports dual-use of both deep learning and visualization in a variety of applications," said Dr. Arie Kaufman, the Chief Scientist and the SMART Cluster Director.

Mr. Narayanan further said, "We want to help data center operators at the grass roots level to offer AI and AI-Hyperconvergence capabilities to their customers, enabling them to participate in the AI ecosystem. Companies are confronted with so much data that they increasingly need AI enabled smart processes. Implementation of 5G is further driving the low latency requirement for AI-Inferencing at Edge data centers. Zeblok's orchestration engine seamlessly integrates multiple disparate resources into a complete AI model development environment all the way to the Edge, supported by its smart sourcing business model for surplus GPU capacity."

Burning Tree Programs Help to Reopen All-Women Facility that Treats Trauma and Addiction in Tandem

DALLAS, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- Burning Tree Programs recently helped to re-open a Fredericksburg, Texas, women-only drug and alcohol rehab that closed in January of 2020 - Awakenings Hill Country. Today, it's been renamed the Fullbrook Center and is now part of Burning Tree Programs' effort to ensure ethical treatment that's run by families and not driven by private equity interest. The name change reflects a transition in the philosophy and approach to care in Texas.

The Fullbrook Center is one of the only treatment centers in Texas that treats trauma and substance abuse at the same time. It offers affordable care provided by skilled staff and is one of just a few facilities in the country that is CARF and ASAM accredited. This accreditation demonstrates its commitment to clients to ensure they receive the best care possible.

Burning Tree Programs is helping to support Fullbrook and using its admissions team to find care for women who need it. In turn, the new owners, Jessica and Josh Slay, a husband and wife team, can focus on what they know best - treatment and trauma.

"Opening and focusing on all aspects of a new treatment center is challenging," Jessica says. "Because of Burning Tree, we can solely focus on the best level of care for women suffering from trauma and substance abuse."

Jessica spent her career building a private counseling practice. During that time, she saw many women who had suffered immense trauma while also developing substance use dependency.

"When I looked for places for my clients to get help, I struggled," Jessica says. "Facilities were either unaffordable or did not provide the necessary services."

So, it just made sense to combine the two.

Josh is the former CEO of Brazos Recovery, an all men's drug rehab that offers detox, long-term residential care and sober living. Josh has been sober for 10 years.

"My wife and I combined our passions and expertise of healing trauma and using the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous to help others," Josh says.

About the FullBrook Center

The Fullbrook Center is a clinician-owned and operated residential treatment facility for women, designed to assist women in the healing from substance abuse, mental health and trauma. It's the only boutique facility that is women-only, in-network, ASAM accredited, and specializes in substance abuse and trauma treatment in Texas. It offers tailored, individual care and has 19 beds and six master's level clinicians. There's a 24-hour nursing staff and a full medical detox onsite.

About Burning Tree Programs

Burning Tree Programs is a family-owned company that brings ethical and specialized treatment to people who chronically relapse and who struggle with substance use disorder. The company opened its first treatment center in 1999. Since then it has opened three treatment centers - each with a unique approach to address addiction and alcoholism.

Burning Tree Ranch is designed for long-term treatment, focuses on the 12 steps and uses several modalities. Treatment ranges from eight to 14 months in a residential treatment program and a one-year commitment to an intensive aftercare program is required.

Renewal Lodge, just outside of Austin, Texas, also focuses on the 12 steps and is coupled with the ancient practice of mindfulness which helps to enhance the experience of the 12 steps.

With a 12-step foundation, Burning Tree West in Tucson, AZ also implements positive psychology to help young adults heal in their extended care program and sober living homes.

Then, their moving crews volunteer to deliver the donations to a local food bank or pantry at no additional cost.

Hilldrup also provides Move For Hunger with additional support by organizing food drives and by volunteering to rescue food from large events, like marathons. Most recently they assisted Move For Hunger's COVID-19 relief efforts, when their Atlanta branch delivered 100 cases of donated GoGo SqueeZ product to Fulton County Schools in Alpharetta, Georgia.

"The COVID-19 Pandemic has increased the need for emergency food nationwide. Food banks and pantries are facing an unprecedented demand, and we are so grateful that Hilldrup remains committed to helping us fight hunger."

"We are thrilled to partner with Move for Hunger for the ninth year," said Jordan McDaniel Hinkebein, Marketing Director, Hilldrup. "They have created such an invaluable network of moving companies to assist in one of the greatest needs of our nation - food insecurity. We are honored and proud to be a partner with them and to continue to help our local communities with these food efforts, through customer donations, employee or community food drives and beyond!"

To date, Move For Hunger's network of more than 1,000 moving companies, more than 1,500 multi-family apartment communities, and many of the world's leading relocation management companies has collected and delivered nearly 17.8 million pounds of food - providing nearly 15 million meals - to food banks and pantries across the United States and Canada.

Entertainment Executive Mike Sington: From Working with NBCUniversal to Becoming ‘Hollywood’s Ultimate Insider’

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Far too many people look back at their life with regret for the opportunities they let slip through their fingers, and the dreams they left unrealized. Mike Sington knew from an early age he wouldn't be one of those people.

Like many growing up in America's Midwest, he felt California, particularly Hollywood, calling from an early age. The Golden State appeared to be impossibly romantic and a land of limitless possibilities for those with enough nerve to gamble everything on the roll of a dice, for those prepared to ditch a steady job and income, pack everything they own into the trunk of a car, and head out West to live the dream.

The day before Sington was to start a great position with a major business corporation, he did precisely that. He called the company and told them he was California bound. Although he had no job, no place to live, and had zero contacts in Hollywood, he knew if he didn't take the chance at that precise moment, he would live the rest of his life in the terrible shadow of 'What if?'

"As a kid, I was obsessed with movies and television shows," says Sington. "The world I saw on the silver screen was a world so unlike my own, and a world, someday, I wanted to be a part of."

Sington's first small taste of Hollywood came when he did a handful of commercials while studying for a business degree. He thought, "What a fun way to make a living. Beats the world out of business hands-down!"

From then on the die was cast, and Sington's decision to go West pretty much made itself. When he first arrived in Hollywood, Sington turned his hand to what many fresh-faced newcomers to Tinseltown do - waiting tables.

Sington describes, "As a side hustle, it didn't last long. I was fortunate to get a great gig as a tour guide at Universal Studios. It was a dream job for someone like me. I got paid to show off my passion for all things Hollywood to tourists from all over the world."

A couple of months into the job, Sington decided to rewrite the studio tour script and sent it to the Studio President's office. Four days later, Sington was sitting in the President's office and was given a new job, which transformed his life. Sington explains, "On the strength of the script, the President asked me to create a formal training program for the guides. I ran with it, and that then snowballed into the Studio Tour Guide Academy."

As the studio tour continued to grow, so too did Sington's reputation at Universal. Within a few years, he was a senior executive.

Since then, Mike Sington has become something of an entertainment and pop culture guru. His insider knowledge of entertainment, celebrities, and pop culture is legendary. He's been branded, 'Hollywood's Ultimate Insider' with good reason. He's the go-to expert on all things film and television related.

Yet to this day, if you ask Sington the secret to his success, he'll tell you it's pretty simple. "I learned from an early age to trust my gut, my instincts, and go where your passion leads."

Sington adds, "I've been fortunate to have had some lucky breaks in this business and worked with some great people and mentors, but if I hadn't followed my inner voice all those years ago, I'd hate to think about the sort of life I'd be living now. Put it this way, I'm now living the dream myself, but what makes it especially thrilling is I get to share that dream with people from all over the world. It's something I never take for granted."

MortgageCountry Perfects the eClosing Process – Goes Live with DocMagic’s Custom-Configured Total eClose™ Solution and Dynamic Document Preparation Service

TORRANCE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, regulatory compliance and comprehensive eMortgage services, announced that MortgageCountry, a newly formed mortgage banker, has implemented its Total eClose(TM) platform and dynamic document preparation service. Since its launch, the lender has set a new standard for speed -closing loans in an average of 13 calendar days during the first two months of lending aided by DocMagic's 100 percent digital e-enabled documents working seamlessly with its eClosing interface, dramatically enhancing the client experience.

MortgageCountry identified a gap in the industry, dominated by large independent mortgage bankers and financial institutions after the financial crisis, which has significantly increased the consumer cost of a mortgage. The primary reason for rising consumer cost is the industry's reliance on a large outside sales infrastructure, absorption of mortgage brokers, and corporate expense allocations throughout the banking industry.

MortgageCountry is committed to reversing this negative trend while providing best-in-class products and services. Consequently, MortgageCountry partnered with the best of the best technology partners to provide an intuitive and simple platform that meets clients everywhere and anywhere.

MortgageCountry invested a substantial amount of time arriving at a long-term technology strategy that would completely set it apart from competitors. Their vendor due diligence and planning process was extensive, according to MortgageCountry, which entailed close collaboration with DocMagic's eClosing team to fine-tune the process from start to finish.

"To be successful in today's fast-moving, rapidly changing lending landscape, implementing the right technology is business-critical to disrupt an industry plagued with good ideas but poor execution," stated Sheila Salvitti, Director of Communications and Social Media at MortgageCountry. "MortgageCountry has successfully delivered on our promise to make the client experience as simple, quick and easy as possible. After DocMagic tailored Total eClose to our business needs and swiftly implemented the platform, we were flawless from the outset."

Salvitti continued: "DocMagic completely exceeded our expectations, helping us make our origination and closing process next-level efficient and creating a second-to-none closing experience for our clients. After seeing the level of perfection achieved, we knew we chose the right technology partner to realize our belief that the sky is the limit."

MortgageCountry reported that its clients consistently found the process intuitive, speedy and transparent by providing the complete closing documents well ahead of closing. Clients also stated that the process was much more comfortable than their prior experiences because they were able to review and sign the closing documents without the pressure of someone looking over their shoulder, and they valued the ability to sign on their own time without a rigid schedule.

MortgageCountry implemented a technology-forward, intuitive, and client-centric lending platform that meets clients everywhere and anywhere, and is complemented by a dedicated client experience team of industry gurus that are available to chat six days a week, 12 hours a day. MortgageCountry has found the right balance between technology and service to change the way consumers think about the mortgage process.

According to MortgageCountry, paramount to the solution was the utilization of DocMagic's dynamic, intelligent, data-driven loan documents and disclosures combined with Total eClose, which ensures that all data and docs match every step of the way for compliance adherence and the prevention of fraud. Via an integration with MortgageCountry's new loan origination system (LOS), DocMagic seamlessly and bi-directionally exchanges relevant loan data to complete transactions. MortgageCountry credits the ability to start from "scratch" as a competitive advantage in today's landscape where lenders are slow to adopt technology that drives efficiency and client satisfaction.

"It was a pleasure collaborating with the tech-savvy, forward-thinking team at MortgageCountry in a combined effort to master the eClosing process before they ever funded a single loan," stated Dominic Iannitti, President and CEO of DocMagic. "The unprecedented success we had with the solution configuration, troubleshooting and implementation of the platform helped setup MortgageCountry to be one of the most efficient independent mortgage bankers in the country. Using our combined docs and eClosing solutions, they have established a clear competitive advantage while also future-proofing their organization with the most contemporary, innovative technology in the industry."

Of note is that one of MortgageCountry's core underlying missions is to support local communities by donating five percent of its profits. MortgageCountry is fulfilling this mission by funding charities that are important to their clients, which also increases visibility of countless incredible organizations through their philosophy that "what is important to you is important to us."

In addition, MortgageCountry stated that it adopted a fully distributed business model from the outset - a key ingredient of its growth strategy. MortgageCountry is running its business virtually and much more cost effectively, avoiding the overhead required to house employees in corporate locations by implementing a 100 percent browser-based technology that is accessible from anywhere, anytime and any device with an internet connection. MortgageCountry believes its employees should work where they want, when they want and how they want. This affords MortgageCountry the ability to hire the most talented associates without geographic limitations.

Ombudsman Services of Contra Costa, Solano and Alameda Announces Launch of Friendly Visiting and Telephone Reassurance Program Initiative

PLEASANT HILL, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Ombudsman Services of Contra Costa, Solano, and Alameda today announces the launch of the Friendly Visiting and Telephone Reassurance Program in Solano County funded by the Napa Solano Area Agency on Aging. This new initiative is designed to provide and maintain individual connection with homebound seniors and prevent isolation, a precursor to abuse.

According to the "Napa/Solano Area Agency on Aging Four-Year Area Plan on Aging FY 2019-2020 Area Plan Update," 2017 data suggests that there are just under 96,000 people over 60 in Solano County. Among those 65 and over, 50.4% are White, 12.4% African American, 18.9% Asian, and 11.3% Hispanic and Latino. In Solano County, 6.9% of those over 65 have incomes below the federal poverty line, requiring critical support services in order to maintain health and independence.

"We are thrilled to be launching this program," said Executive Director Nicole Howell. "There is a sizable population of economically vulnerable seniors in Solano struggling to make ends meet. This type of vulnerability poses real threats to overall health and well-being."

While Friendly Visiting and Telephone Reassurance is typically a community-based program, Ombudsman Services will also be partnering with facilities. Their team of staff and volunteers will execute regularly scheduled phone calls and visits to seniors in their place of residence to build relationships and assess safety risks and any unmet senior needs.

"In addition to having a friend," Howell continues, "we will be able to help connect our seniors to things like nutrition assistance or meeting with a nurse to go over medication reconciliation and fall risk assessments. Our goal is to manage connection, provide wraparound services, and keep people safe and doing well in the home or wherever they may be."

Ombudsman Services is projected to connect with over 1,900 individuals via telephone and nearly 900 in home visits.

About Ombudsman Services of Contra Costa, Solano and Alameda:

Ombudsman Services is the only organization mandated by law to make unannounced visits to long-term care facilities to ensure that residents are free from abuse and are receiving quality care. We have been aiding the community for more than 40 years, and all services are free of charge. We serve Contra Costa, Solano and Alameda counties with our team of highly trained Ombudsman staff and volunteers. For more information, visit http://www.ccombudsman.org/.

St. Louis Firm Mentoring Complete, Associated Colleges of Illinois Partner, Offer Career Mentoring Program for College Seniors

ST. LOUIS, Mo. /ScoopCloud/ -- A St. Louis firm, Mentoring Complete (https://www.mentoringcomplete.com/), has partnered with Associated Colleges of Illinois (ACI) (https://acifund.org), a Chicago nonprofit, to offer a Career Mentoring Program to match Illinois college seniors with business mentors. The mentors help guide the seniors as they launch careers.

Funded in part through a National Venture Fund grant from the Council of Independent Colleges (https://www.cic.edu), Washington, D.C., the new mentoring program will be available through career services offices at ACI's 27 member colleges and universities (https://acifund.org/member-college-directory/).

ACI provides scholarships and emergency financial aid to first-generation, low-income students attending private colleges and universities in Illinois, plus career services and peer mentoring for students. Mentoring Complete has considerable experience in successful business and corporate mentoring programs. Clients include Enterprise Holdings, New York Power Authority, OhioHealth and Reach International.

"The design of the program creates consistent interactions, so the mentor and mentee have opportunities to assess how things are progressing, and make adjustments along the way," said Aaron Adams, partner and mentoring expert with Mentoring Complete. The students and their career mentors can also discuss areas of development most important to the student, and the seniors develop a better understanding of how to translate what they have learned in the classroom into the workplace, he added. In some cases, mentors can help mentees find future career opportunities.

"The Career Mentoring Program helps get college seniors engaged at a high level with mentors in their chosen career fields, and helps them begin successful careers and be productive citizens," said Mick Weltman, ACI executive director. Career mentoring complements other components of ACI's College-to-Career program offerings, he said. They include Work and Life Skills Boot Camps, and ACI's Career Development Conference and Career Expo, which help students prepare for careers; micro-internships through Parker Dewey, which help students get valuable work experience while in college; and ACI's job-postings page (https://acifund.org/jobs-and-internships/), which announces positions available for alumni of ACI-affiliated schools.

For the fall term, career mentoring dates are Sept. 15, 2020 to Dec. 15, 2020. Spring program dates are Jan. 15, 2021 to April 30, 2021. ACI will work with career services teams at member colleges and universities to publicize the new program and recruit mentees, who will be placed with potential mentors as available.

ACI will also reach out to corporate sponsors and strategic partners to recruit experienced mentors. People interested in becoming mentors should apply though the career mentoring website (https://www.get.mentoringcomplete.com/aci-business-mentor). Mentors will be paired with mentees for one semester based on availability.

Coach Jaliel Thompson Helps Nursing Aide Go from Minimum Wage to Six Figures in 90 Days

BALTIMORE, Md. /ScoopCloud/ -- Jaliel Thompson, founder and CEO, Thompson J. Enterprises, LLC (DBA Jaliel Thompson Coaching), had so much success with his coaching business that he recently relaunched the brand to meet evolving client needs. As a result, his company is now able to take on larger clients and help them to get faster results. It seems to be paying off - in more ways than one. Clients are now seeing results that they thought impossible, but hoped were not.

For example, a woman in her mid-30s recently contacted Thompson to help her get out of financial dire straits. She had gone through a divorce and knew there was no way she could survive on her minimum wage nursing aide salary. Her goal was to land a job as an IT specialist that paid six figures. But how? Most would say she'd be lucky to land an entry-level job in a new field.

"I admit, this was a challenge I had not seen to date, but I was willing to work with her and confident that we could help her to change her life," Thompson says. "I'm all about the underdog; I've been one."

Thompson's team worked together to help this client meet her challenge head on. They revised her resume, found IT references in the field and provided her with the necessary resources and training so she could pass the exam for her IT certification. After 90 days, it happened. She landed a six-figure cyber security IT position with a government agency.

Thompson's team continued to support the woman in her new position until she felt comfortable and no longer required assistance. As a result, she's taken the strategies learned to maintain her position, has paid off her debt, purchased a home and even started a business where she works as an advocate to help others make the impossible possible.

"She's found her purpose," Thompson says. "Helping people to rediscover their passion through purpose is what we do - not just professionally, but personally too."

Whether people seek to achieve more balance, reduce stress, gain more self-esteem or reach any other personal or professional goal, Thompson and his team are ready to take on the challenge.

Consultations are free.

Outlook Repair Tool with 95% Successful Recovery Rate is Released

HONG KONG /ScoopCloud/ -- DataNumen announces a new update of its acclaimed tool to repair broken and damaged Outlook PST files. With the new version 7.2, the tool brings in even faster recovery with success rate as high as 95%, while memory consumption of the utility has been reduced.

As of 2020, Outlook remains one of the most popular email clients in the world. Nearly every tenth computer user reports using Outlook as a primary way to work with electronic mail. Other local email clients die, slowly yet inevitably. Hence the growing interest to various tools to repair damaged Outlook email databases and corrupted PST files. And the demand becomes even more intense because Outlook itself simply cannot provide reliable ways to recover lost data.

DataNumen Outlook Repair 7.2 is a new major version of one of the most popular Outlook recovery tools. The software automatically scans the provided PST files for damages, and fixes them allowing a user to retrieve the otherwise inaccessible information within just a few minutes. Importantly, DataNumen Outlook Repair flaunts the best recovery rate among all other tools on the market. According to a comprehensive study accomplished by DataNumen's information security specialists, Outlook Repair 7.2 delivers up to 95,7% successful recovery rate!

The Outlook Repair software is able to fix the majority of common problems Outlook users experience, and a number of rare ones too. When the email client keeps telling 'errors have been detected,' or 'unexpected error,' it is very easy to start tearing out hair in desperation. But DataNumen's tool easily - and automatically! - detects the source of the problem and quickly fixes it. The program can deal with large PST files, supports batch recovery for multiple PST files, and works with any version of Outlook files, both 32-bit and 64-bit editions.

"DataNumen Outlook Repair is the most feature-rich recovery tool on the market today," comments Alan Chen, president and CEO. "Not only the most reliable one, but also one of the fastest, it easily outperforms competition in terms of safety of personal information and correspondence."

Pricing and availability

DataNumen Outlook Repair is available for Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP, Vista/7/8/8.1/10 and Windows Server 2003/2008/2012/2016/2019, 32-bit and 64-bit. The tool supports all versions of Outlook from 97 to 2019. The cost of the program is $199.95 and there are volume discounts available.

About

DataNumen develops data recovery software since 2001. The company ships tools for document, file and disk recovery as well as backup tools to hundreds of top companies worldwide including IBM, AT&T, Microsoft.

Windstar Cruises Retrofits Fleet with HEPA filters and UV-C Light – Partners with University of Colorado’s Anschutz Medical Center

SEATTLE, Wash. /ScoopCloud/ -- To address health concerns brought on by the pandemic, Windstar Cruises has committed to a holistic Beyond Ordinary Care program and will retrofit its fleet of six yachts with hospital-grade HEPA filters, ultraviolet germicidal irradiation and will employ a safe sanitization formula used in health care settings. A new partnership with the epidemiology department at the University of Colorado's Anschutz Medical Center provides ongoing guidance.

"We are taking extensive measures and making multi-million-dollar investments to operate our yachts more safely in this new environment," said Windstar Cruises CEO Andrew Todd. "Building upon Windstar's 180 degrees from ordinary service, the Beyond Ordinary Care program implements a layered system of science-led best practices aimed at keeping everyone aboard healthy."

For additional guidance on combatting illnesses, Windstar connected with the epidemiology department at the University of Colorado's Anschutz Medical Center, known for its work and expertise in infectious disease epidemiology. The collaboration aims to implement appropriate layers of protection to create a safe experience for guests on Windstar's yachts.

"Windstar's holistic approach has multiple layers of safety at hospital grade standards, and when combined with responsible hygiene practices from guests, it's the safest environment achievable with tech and science as we know it today," said Dr. Michelle Barron, Medical Director of Infection Prevention at University of Colorado Hospital and Professor of Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases, at University of Colorado's Anschutz Medical Center. "When you're sailing on a Windstar yacht, your biggest worry should be how to avoid a sunburn, not getting COVID-19."

Windstar is making significant investments and major operational adjustments to meet the requirements of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and global governmental and public health guidance. Enhanced cleaning protocols on board include crew dedicated to frequent cleaning with special attention to high touch points and public areas. Going further, the Beyond Ordinary Care program employs proven technology and the highest-standard cleaning methods in combination with each other, as follows:

1. Install high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters to filter the air on board
Current CDC Guidelines for Environmental Infection Control in Healthcare Facilities recommend HEPA filtration for recirculated air from patient isolation rooms in hospitals. These filters are being installed in the HVAC systems on all Windstar yachts.

2. Add yet another layer to sanitize/disinfect the HEPA-filtered air with UV-C light for germicidal irradiation
Once air has moved through the HEPA filtration system, there is an opportunity to "zap" the air with UV-C light (also called germicidal irradiation) before the air recirculates on the ship. When air passes the UV-C light, microbes such as bacteria and viruses not trapped in the HEPA filter will be destroyed. Germicidal irradiation is a solution that has been proven to kill coronaviruses.

3. Use EvaClean with PurTab for disinfecting surfaces via sprayers
In addition to an elevated frequency of cleaning, sanitizing provides another layer of safety. This EPA-approved powerful sanitizer utilizes a safe and effective formula for disinfecting all types of hard and soft surfaces throughout the ship including guest rooms, crew spaces, and all public spaces. It has been used for everything from lower-level sanitization required for food-contact surfaces to powerful infection control used in health care settings.

CEO Todd stressed that the cruise line, working with health experts and following the guidelines of the CDC, has carefully chosen cleaning and sanitation methods that have been shown to be effective against coronaviruses, as well as many other illness-causing microorganisms. These systems, in combination with an abundance of other prevention and mitigation steps, and diligence on behalf of guests, give Todd and Windstar Cruises confidence to sail the Windstar fleet in this challenging environment.

"Windstar operates small yachts that visit ports and waterways that large cruise ships simply can't access," said Todd. "There are major advantages to smaller ships besides less tonnage and passengers. Let's face it, cleaning and purifying a 342-passenger ship is logistically easier than a 5,000 passenger 'city at sea.'"

As part of the multi-layered approach, new pre-trip protocols for guests include a pre-departure questionnaire, and a request to wear masks when traveling to and from the ships. Each guest will receive a health screening prior to embarkation. Staggered arrival and departure times at check-in and disembarkation in ports will reinforce proper social distancing between guests.

Once on board, guests will find personalized service by dining staff in all venues, expanded dining times and seating arranged to provide more space between diners. The popular outdoor, top-deck BBQ will still be held with crew on hand to serve guests. Additional al fresco restaurants and complimentary room service (main restaurant dinner menu available via room service) increase dining options for all. Main dining venues will operate at 65 percent capacity, while specialty venues will operate at 60 percent. Crew, who will also be COVID-19 (PCR) tested before joining their assignment, will wear masks and instead of the usual embrace or handshake, look for the new "Windstar Wave" hand signal - a W made with one's index fingers and thumbs. Temperature measurements will be required twice daily for crew.

Safety standards established on board will carry over to shore-side experiences. Tenders, motor coaches and smaller boats will operate at 50 percent capacity and will be cleaned between each use. Windstar will also expand medical staff on board, as well as increase crew training in cleaning practices, social distancing, and emergency response protocols. As more becomes known about the COVID-19 virus, Windstar's policies will evolve. Information will be shared with crew and training ongoing.

Windstar operates a fleet of six small yachts carrying from 148 to 342 guests and is known for visiting small ports and hidden harbors around the world. Ports will be continually evaluated for safety and changes made as necessary. The 148-guest Wind Spirit will be its first yacht to resume sailing on September 10, 2020 in Tahiti. Other Windstar yachts will start cruising in the Mediterranean in October and the Caribbean in November, while other ships will come online in 2021 following scheduled major renovations.
